HEY Hey, the smell is in the air. Pigskin, sweat and blood. Are YOU ready for some FOOTBALL!!!
The scrimmage with Llano and Blanco showed us there are some holes to fill. Llano is going to give Brownwood alot to handle this year, they're big, fast and like to hit. I thought we looked good against them. A couple of breakdowns at the line and Linebacker corp. But, overall good. Offense moved the ball well. Not Great, good. When Cam went out, we lost a lot of MO on offense. Were very weak at QB on 2nd string. He does alot of good things but, he gets tunnel vision and losses sight of the field. Decent arm but needs more arm strength. Running game was good, need to secure the ball better. Chuppy and Jake look good as tandem backs, both ran well. Outside line backers have got to do a better job of watching the flats and accross the middle passes. Saw a lot of arm tackles, not happy with that, but, some very good hits also. The best acquisition to Early Football this summer was Coach Doug Kemp, He gets excited, screams, encourages, coaches constantly on the field, off the field. Let him know how much you appreciate that. We have been missing that.
One side note, JV looked exceptional on the line offense and defense. QB was excellant.

Well, I don't want to say to much on this scrimmage between Breckenridge and Early due to the fact we have a real game with Cisco Friday night. But, I would like to say our hearts go out to the young man who had his leg broken in the scrimmage. We hope you heal real fast and get back and began playing again, very unfortunate injury.
I saw alot of good things and bad. Sorry not going to talk about the bad,as previously stated. Offense moved the ball very well when the snaps were on target. Cam Threw very well Isom has got some awesome hands, as does Riker. Excellant receiver corp.
Mareno and Fisher ran well, both had close to 70 yards each for the 2, 12 min live action. Most impressive was the offensive and defensive linemen, they looked great. If you see a lineman let them know they played tough. The main objective for Friday night will be to stop their running back, excellant tough runner. Stop him, and force Colton to go to the air, and let our safety and Cornerbacks do their jobs. Were one and one, lets go out and make 2-1. Hook'em Horns!

cisco!!!! wow

[EMMITT22]

this game is not going to make or break our team's season, they will get better and i believe they will make the playoffs, but first things first San Saba next Friday at home. HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

[EMMITT22]

Yes I believe you guys will get better. Your QB is a shifty guy. Once he gets his timing down with those recievers they will be hard to stop. Will be cheering you guys on from here on out. Take the wood to San Saba!!

yes we will get it together we are better team than our performance indicated from last Fridays game we are going to do some great things this year.I'll be rooting for yall as well, i definately did when yall played Refugio (which i believe was the best state champ. game played last season) i dvr'd it and watched it a few times over the summer when i was going through HSFB w/d's.

[fumblerooski]

Well Cisco is Sharp!!! Very well executed offense. I see a State Championship Trophy in their case this year. Now our horns got beat up a bit, but, there were alot of good things I saw after watching tape. But, there were a bunch of problems, many have been corrected. We will see a different team on the field come Friday. We are very young team in experianced Varsity players, but their attitudes are so positive, and they believe they can win. After watching film I saw that our O line can block very well, just not consistant, they have got to engage and hold their blocks all the way to the whistle. If they will engage and stay engaged they will change the consistancy of our offense.
Defense just needs to plant their face in the ball carriers chest, wrap up and drive them down. Way too much arm tackling and jersey grabbing. If they will step and plant the ball carriers then will see a much better defense. They have to go lights out every play, quit expecting someone else to make the play, and lead their team. I expect to see some great things out Peyton Ashworth this week. He has had a great week of practice.

[EMMITT22]

we're getting there. real proud of the second half our team put in as Coach Bowden stated " a tale of two halves" and "we looked like a playoff team in the second half' but the difference is that playoff teams don't play halves, they play complete games. " I believe this team will get it done this year, but one game at a time, next Coleman. HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

[EMMITT22]

Come on Horns, yall have plenty of talent and skill at all positions to play ball it's all mental. Last night's game is over but your season is not get it together and get it done. Ballinger next , then district starts. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! HOOK'EM HORNS!!!

[EMMITT22]

HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

[tbone]

Rumor is we'll try a different qb tonight, not sure of the wisdom in that move. Maybe we can turn things around, boys seem pretty disgusted.

[EMMITT22]

I believe they are all coming together and will get it done. Take out two -three plays out of each of the last games and we could very well be 2-2 at least if not 3-1 instead of 0-4. THIS LONGHORN TEAM CAN DO IT. First district game next Friday at Ingram Moore. HOOK 'EM HORNS!

[EMMITT22]

The Longhorns WILL WIN against Ingram Moore. HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!
